Washington, D.C., June 17, 2015 – Earlier this week APMP’s® flagship
membership publication, the APMP Journal, was honored with an Association of Media & Publishing
(AM&P) 2015 EXCEL Award.It is the largest and most prestigious awards program to recognize excellence and
leadership in nonprofit association media, publishing, marketing, and
communications. APMP won a Silver Award in the Journals, Cover Design category,
for the APMP Journal, Volume II, Number I, 2014, featuring the
"Left Brain, Right Brain” article. Last year, the APMP Journal won a Silver AM&P 2014 EXCEL Award for Best Redesign
of an Association Journal.

"APMP’s Journal won again, despite
being outspent and out-resourced by other major association publications,” said
Rick Harris, Executive Director, APMP. "These awards demonstrate the
professional quality of the APMP Journal,
which matches the professional content provided by writers from our own
industry.”

This year marked the 35th Annual EXCEL Awards celebration,
honoring examples of association media and publishing that strive for
creativity and clarity. John T. Adams III, Executive Director, AM&P, began
the awards program by explaining that AM&P received more than 800 awards
entries. In order to select the most qualified nominations, the judging panel
used a more detailed numerical judging system, refining the scores each
nomination received. "If you receive an award tonight,” he said, "you’re among
the top 25 percent of a competitive group.”

APMP recognizes the APMP membership, who contribute meaningful content,
and our editorial partners at The YGS Group, who work to co-produce the APMP Journal with APMP’s Editor in
Chief, Patrice Scheyer.
